"What Is a Praducer?"
-K The theatrical film Producer's
.job is to attract people — to the
ticket offices of the theaters.
But the job of the business-film
Producer is to sway people — to
cause them to learn something,
decide something, or feel some-
thing — about his client's product,
operation, or corporate image.
Since this newly implanted "at-
titude" must endure, his vehicle
is not entertainment per se but
interest; his goal is not applause,
but belief. His medium could be
print or speech or art; it hap-
pens to be film.
True, the film medium has cer-
tain unique advantages and the
Producer must know how to ma- ■
nipulate its intricate mechanisms ;
to best effect: he must be able
to procure the several compo- ,
nents of script, cast, photogra- |
phy, edit, score, etc., and shape j
them into an effective film tool '
at a feasible cost. But this part
of his job is gear-shifting and .
throttle-pushing; the business-
film Producer's essential function
is to pin down the client's ob-
jective and figure out how to ful-
fill it.
So he is first an Analyst — |
then a Merchandiser (of skills,
products, ideas, concepts and at-
titudesj — and finally, a Per-
suader. A Swayer — on film.

YES, IT'S TRUE...
ivhat they say about Hollywood
. . . that, more and more, Hollywood is becoming a
center for production of business films.
Experienced sponsors have found that Hollywood's
unequalcd technical facilities, and its large pool of
creative and production talent, make possible the pro-
duction of better films, on faster schedules, and often
at lower cost.
Among the nationally recognized producers of
business films in Hollywood, the firm of GATE &

ards of quality and its long record of successfully serv-
ing an important list of both eastern and western clients.

wndi rli.mks for asking. So much has been said about him
— legend and fact— it's time we set the record straight:
Legci
■nd: Oeveste Granducci is an Italian Oiuiit, knii;hted by CjaribalJi and decorated by
Mussolini. He speaks seven languages, none of them English, and writes art
films about Michaelangelo.
FACT: Granducci is a fourth generation American, born and raised in Cincinnati,
A journalism graduate of Ohio State, he wrote for the Kiplinger Letters
for sixteen years. Thirteen years ago he started w riting business films. His
organization has since grown to become Scripts By Oeveste Granducci, Inc.
Legend: Granducci has a monumental case of insomnia. Because he never sleeps, he
writes as many as six scripts at once, over a hundred a year.
FACT: Scripts By Oeveste Granducci, Inc. is an organization of experienced script
writers, providing the creative talents and abilities of men who have been
on the staff from tvso to ten years.
l^i'^t'lld: Scripts By Oeveste Granducci, Inc. is only slightly more expensive than the
combined talents of Hemingway, Kipling, Agee, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
John.
FACT: It's only the best scriptwriting you can buy. Far from being expensive, our
clients say "getting the script first" is the most eco)iomical way to produce
a motion picture, a slide film, or a sales meeting. Jobs are priced individ-
ually, primarily on the amount of research and the value of the creative
idea.
Legend: Tie ''"'•'y t<> make a picture is to work without a script. Who needs one.^ It's
the picture that counts.
F ACT : Its the ia'tpt that counts! Hundreds of films have been produced from
Granducci scripts. They've won awards — they've produced results. That's
why producers and sponsors use us regularly.
So you see, Virgiuia. there really is a script;

Maine Summarizes Farm
Film Television Coverage
a The State of Maine Department
of Agriculture, operating a large
library of films in the farm field,
summarizes the 451 free film
shows secured on 143 television
stations during the fiscal year
1957-8, in its current biennial re-
port.
Its two-reel film. Pan-Time
Farmer, in release lYz years, was
given 70 showings during the 12-
month fiscal period. Second came
Climate and the Apple, 3!/2 years
old, with 64 showings, then Better
Seed, 1 years old, but revised in
1956 with 56 showings.
Three other films, Putatolund.
Maine Barbecue and Fourth Di-
mension, were given 50. 46 and
41 showings respectively, on tele-
vision.
Maine Barbecue, which went
into restricted television release in
October, 1957, was originally re-
leased four months earlier in 35-
mm color by De Luxe to southern
New England and New York the-
aters. During the first year it was
shown on a free basis. 779,802
people viewed it 3.410 times in
442 theatres.
H. G. Hawes, publicity director
for the Maine department, as well
as producer - photographer of the
films, thinks that ratings received
on 42 of the television shows
"casts some new. if hardly believ-
able, light on the audience for
public service films.
"We did not take the average of
these ratings (it was 16.9) for our
report on audience." he said, "but
instead — we divided it in halj and
applied the result to the total po-
tential audience of the 451 — 1957-
8 shows. On that basis, we came up
with 18,627,781 sets ... or at
least 25 million viewers." W

The ]\[ew Challenqe to Industry
by Wallace A. Ross
Pul)lic Hflalidiis Counsel, Film Producers Association of New York
ITeld Over in Reykjavik. Ice-
^^ land! Breaking attendance
records in Southern Rhodesia! An
audience of six million Japanese in
three months! So what?
Here's wluii — a world audience
and a world market yearns for
your story and your know-how via
films you have made, are making,
and can make. If American indus-
try — or any individual business
concern — misses out on the great
opportunity to reach international
audiences with motion pictures
that influence potential customers
and needed allies, it is rendering
unto itself a rank injustice of
double magnitude.
Never before has the overseas
market offered so many opportun-
ities for U.S. manufacturers in
terms of important long-term busi-
ness gains. The new European
Economic Community, for exam-
ple, finds more than 1000 .Amer-
ican firms already operating within
the six-country area ( France, Ger-
many, Italy, Belgium. The Nether-
lands and Luxembourg), and
20% of all U.S. exports are re-
portedly sold to this area, making
it probably the biggest importer in
the world.
But the rapidly-growing world
economy is beginning to offer new
challenges too. There is justifiable
concern for American prospects in
the European common market as
tariffs between the six member
countries go down. In other areas,
increasing competition is coming
not only from the Soviet Bloc but
also from new strides in local pro-
duction of goods of all types.
American companies are finding
it necessary to swing from a pro-
duction-oriented operation which
finds surplus markets abroad to a
marketing-oriented concept that
calls for refinement of their prod-
uct for foreign markets . . . and
even the establishment of produc-
tion facilities abroad. This results
in a mushrooming need for com-
munications . . . for films — films
that alert and awaken customer in-
terest, that sell, and then train . . .
films that bring American technol-
ogy to its broadest market and
greatest return.
The other, broader responsibil-
ity .. . and opportunity — to effec-
tively utilize all mass media to bring
about understanding and accept-
ance of America's policies and ac-
tions as being mutually advanta-
geous — is an equal challenge. The
writer endorses a recent comment
in Business Screen to the effect
that it seems incongruous for a
nation that has developed the arts
of public relations and selling to
such a high point ... to fall down
in selling itself. "We still don't
talk like we act ... get tangled up
in a mass of political, social and
economic verbiage . . . instead of
telling our story simply and di-
rectly."
The article went on to point out
"That goes for American busi-
nesses too, which often act better
than they talk. ... It looks like the
crises in this area may be even
more critical for our future than in
the field of diplomacy."
The danger is compounded
when we vacate the task of inter-
national communications to the
theatrical films that tend to create
slerotyped impressions of us in the
(continued on page 48)

Opens New Areas
PRIMER— THE NEW CHALLENGE TO
AMERICAN INDUSTRY
1 . Tell your story and your country's to the peoples of the world.
2. Make sure that your best films are considered for translation
and distribution by the USIA and arc submitted for screening
by CINE, the non-governmental festival coordination body.
3. Query your own overseas branches on films they could use.
4. Why? Because of the larger, more competitive world market.
Because of the need to combat stereotyped impressions.
Because of the challenge from communist propaganda.
5. Result — They'll love you in Southern Rhodesia, the Middle
East, and all the diplomatic — and marketing — "hot spots"
in the world.
Now . . . LaBelle Maestro helps!
broaden your fields of profitable'
operation by producing full color,
synchronized, fully automatic,
slide-sound presentations for use

minds of worldwide audiences that
are neither identihabie with their
own nor even favorable to us. Our
failure to utilize the tremendous
library of factual films which were
created for purposeful training and
motivation is a delinquency which
we cannot afford.
And, finally, in the face of grow-
ing and intelligent use of the mo-
tion picture as a propaganda arm
by most other countries, where the
film-making industry is state con-
trolled, either through domination
or through subsidy, it is our great
responsibility as individuals and
individual companies to combat
both the insidious and the purely
competitive in order to protect our
position and promote our cause.
Is the audience there? At ran-
dom, from the pages of Business
Screen and official advisement
comes the following representative
testimony:
a. The United States Informa-
tion Agency reports that The Ex-
plorer In Space, produced on as-
signment by News Of The Day, is
receiving top billing in 30 lan-
guages at theatres in 80 countries,
as part of the USIA program to
inform the world of our interna-
tional cooperation in peaceful
scientific progress. The film has
broken all attendance records in
the largest commercial theatre in
Southern Rhodesia, and it was
held over in Reykjavik, Iceland.
In Japan, at 140 theatres, it will
have played to six million people
in only three months.
b. USIA estimates that Union
Carbide's The Petrified River.
produced by MPO, has reached
over 100,000,000 people with 600
prints in use. The films have been
shown in 76 countries, and among
the 24 languages into which it has
been translated are such exotic
tongues as Korean, Japanese, Por-
tuguese, Iranian, Kabil, Hebrew,
Arabic, Turkish and Vietnamese.
c. Cotton — Nature's Wonder
Fibre, the 25-minute color film
produced by Audio, is playing
all over the globe on behalf of the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Foreign Agricultural Service and
the Cotton Council International.
Foreign tracks have been made
also, in order to more effectively
communicate to those areas where
a cotton market is developing.
d. Why the Kremlin Hates Ba-
nanas, an II -minute United Fruit
Company film produced by John
Sutherland, effectively dem-
onstrates one way to tackle the
competitive-political challenge.
The goal — to show how private
enterprise can benefit those coun-
tries which encourage it. The
means — pictorializa on of UF's
Pan American School of Agricul-
ture in Honduras, an enlightened
program that both builds prosper-
ity and educates youth in the ad-
vantages of private enterprise.
Films like this one deserve the
widest possible distribution
throughout the world.
USIA advises that 40% of the
films it distributes abroad are pri-
vately-produced, not on govern-
ment contract. Those films it does
select for its program are proc-
essed through some 213 world-
wide branches, and often receive as
many as 44 language translations.
In addition, USIA, through its at-
testation program, has received a
duty-free import acknowledgment
for films of a non-commercial na-
ture from 35 foreign countries.
What to do? First, reappraise!
Start by checking your film library
for films that even indirectly might
serve some purpose in addition to
the original one by showing over-
seas. Maybe some updating is
necessary; maybe not. Caution —
USIA is most interested in films
with a universal, at least somewhat
timeless application. Check USIA;
check the United Nations Film De-
partment; query your overseas
branches to determine which films
they could use. Then, on the ad-
vice of all these authorities as to
any symbols or other ingredients
which might be misunderstood,
on the advisability of making for-
eign language sound tracks and on

GENERAL MANAGER:
Dear Dave and Herb:
We have had an opportunity to
have several showings of the Fa-
cilities and Capabilities film which
you prepared for us. The color, nar-
ration and composition of the film
were considered excellent, and your
handling of the story sequence
showed a comprehensive understand-
ing of our operation. More impor-
tant than our personal favorable re-
action to the film has been the re-
sponse of the audiences who have
viewed it. We have made it a point
to observe audience reaction and find
that there is complete attention
from the beginning to the closing
scene of the film. Our audiences have
also taken the time to tell us how
much they have been impressed with
the quality and content of the film.
Reports from our engineering sec-
tions on your performance on the
Quarterly Progress film you are
doing for us on the Atlas Program
have been as enthusiastic.
Your ability to tiu'u out such a fine
production with minimum disturb-
ance to our daily operation is cer-
tainly a feat to be commended. Our
sincere appreciation to you for a job
well done.
Yours sincerely

Record Audience Sees Screen
Ad Winners From Venice
t? A record-breaking audience
greeted the showing of prize-win-
ning television and theater com-
mercials at the Venice Ad Film
Festival in New York recently.
The program included the screen-
ing of 44 films shown at the Euro-
pean conclave and included the
grand prize winner plus other win-
ning entries from the United
States, England, France, Italy,
Sweden and Japan.
The two-hour presentation was
coordinated by Harry W. Mc-
Mahan, television consultant,
author and former member of
plans boards at McCann-Ericson
and Leo Burnett advertising agen-
cies. McMahan stated that the
Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences' presentation was calcu-
lated to induce more of the ad-
vance thinking and technique — so
vividly apparent in the films
shown — in the United States,
rather than to stimulate develop-
ment and production of commer-
cials abroad.
McMahan has long reiterated
the belief that U.S. advertisers,
their agencies and producers could
benefit from a long, hard look at
the advance work being accom-
plished in studios on the continent.
However, to illustrate the quality
of workmanship that does exist in
this country, he also presented
"This Is My Best," a selection of
outstanding American TV com-
mercial productions. R"

STORY- BORED
or "Thin. Then Is Business Filing"
by Charles (Caj)) Palmer*
IN THE Course of screening some three hun-
dred assorted business films for the chapter
on same in "TV and Screen Writing," a
discovery emerged which can bring a new era
of efficiency to our art.
The discovery is, that certain writers and
sponsors are wasting a lot of valuable time
thinking up fresh story ideas for every new
picture assignment that comes along, when a
complete stock of surefire stories is ready to
hand, each one tested many times so we know
it works.
I thought for a while of selling the list, put
up in a sort of Handy-Dandy Dialaplot such as
fiction writers use: just flip the dial to "Trade
Association Institutional," for example, and
read. Lampshades Meet the Challenge. But
since I cannot in good conscience charge a fee
to my fellow writers, much less collect one,
here below are the perenni;il favorite formats,
ready to simply add words and serve.
A Brief Sampling of Staples
First, in point of usage, is undoubtedly This.
Then, is NuGrip (the Trip through the Fac-
tory). Next, in large-budget pictures at any
rate, is The Glamourous Inquirer (LIFE's
photographer is doing a story on our company;
or TV writers are preparing our Anniversary
show). Then comes, I should say. Boh Writes
His Thesis . . . Soap flakes Through the Ages
. . . The Role oj Sealant in the American Way
of Life ("few of us realize — ") . . . and It'll
Never Work { "mark my words, the rails will
never go beyond Elgin"). The several basic
Boh and Mary stories (Bob doesn't believe in
the Product at first, but Mary helps him see
the light) are constantly active, along with Old
Ed's Retirement Dinner (Variant A, Old Man
and Young Boy. fishing or watching a train),
and Allied Meets the Challenge . . . Allied
Meets the Atomic Challenge . . . Allied Looks
to the Future . . . A Century of Allied . . .
Where Does Electricity Come From, Daddy'J
. . . I Am a Tire . . . Tlie Big Dream . . .
Wrong-way Waldo and Right-way Red . . . A
Guy Named Mitch (few of us realize how im-
portant he is in the daily life of our American
community) . . . Imagine a World Without
XXX X's ("If suddenly you woke up and there
were no XXXX's") . . .
Then There's This Old Favorite . . .
This is a sampling. There are others, and
sooner or later each one of them comes up in
meeting. There is a sure way to tell when one
is coming. Our contributor, a man of charming
innocence in the realm of story ideas, leans
back in his chair and gazes at us for a moment
in silence, wondering whether he will share his
treasure. Then his voice hushes and a soft
smile plays about the corners of his mouth.
And he says, "You know. Cap, the wife and I
were kind of talking around on this thing last
night, and we were thinking there's this guy,
see, kind of a funny guy, maybe, for some
laughs, but with a good homely philosophy.
too. like old Ed down the hall, and this night
he goes to bed and he falls asleep and he starts i
dreaming, and you know what he dreams?"
Yes, we know what he dreams, but here it
comes anyway — he dreams that all of a sud- '
den, see, the Product can talk, saying things
like, "Ouch, pal, can't you see I am underin-
flated?"
The Story Has to Meet the Need
.Actually, the formula story often has a legiti-
mate use, if it is freshened and used for a real
purpose. I'll admit that Bob and Mary are
working for me right now in a picture called
The Lifetime Look, because 1 can sell the bene-
fits of group insurance best by showing their
effects on real people with young-married
problems.
The crux is, I guess, a story must be In-
digenous to the material and the objective. Bob
and Mary would not be indigenous to a trip
through an engine factory — though they took
one, a six reeler. for a recent picture. You
see. Bob was doing his thesis about the Amer-
ican Competitive Way and Mary's father hap-
pened to be the superintendent of this factory,
and Mary was real interested in everything; in
fact, if it hadn't been for the kind of dumb
questions she kept asking Bob. few of us would
have realized the part played by the crankvalve
engine in our daily lives!
Gimmicky Pictures Just Don't Work
I've omitted one format. This consists sim-
ply of showing the people what they need lo
know about our subject, without extraneous
gimmicks, clearly and straightforwardly, and
with an essential dignity; the material so
themed and organized and presented that it
brings out the broad significance of what we're
pushing. But the opposition writer who brings
in the sparkling gimmick of the Guardian An-
gel who conies to Earth, see. but nobody at the
Sales Conference realizes who he is until sud-
denly (puff' of smoke and lightly waving cur-
tain) he's gone, will beat us out every time,
unless we are very persistent. Also, maybe a
little honest.
The reason we must persist is that gimmicky
pictures just don't work. They tend to sell the
gimmick as the take-away impression rather
than the subject content, and may entertain
an audience (and the Sponsor) without doing
much about implanting the real objective. It
is flattering to a Sponsor when his employee-
audience says. "You've certainly got a wonder-
ful movie here. .IB." but it is profitable to have
them feel. "Our retirement plan is better than
I realized; I guess I'll turn down the outside
offer."
The net fact is. a picture in our field
shouldn't be called "good" or "bad" — it should
be rated effective or inefl'ective, in terms of
whether it does what the sponsor hired us to
do. LInl'ortunatcly. not all sponsors are suHi-
cicntly sophisticated in the film medium to
realize the distinction; with the result that gim-
micky "entertaining" ineffective pictures have
so long been with us as to establish the
standard that, like mothballs, business pictures
are best if they smell a little. We can do
better. ' 9

which may be placed with the screen where it be-
longs — that offers a 300-watt model for 2x2 and
bantam slides as well as filmstrip.
You get years of dependable service from Viaor-
Soundview equipment because it is precision-built
by Kalart to the same rigid specifications as famous
Victor I6mm sound projectors. No other slidefilm
equipment offers higher quality, more advanced
features or greater versatility for program growth
than Viaor-Soundview. Compare and see for yourself.

Annual Reiieu of Films in Medicine:
The Meiliciil PictuiK in 1958
Inlernational Exhibits; Useful New Films Made a Fine Year
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
of the importance of motion pic-
tures in the medical field, both as
an instrument for advancing the
interchange of medical knowledge
and as a means of reaching and
interesting young people in careers
in medicine and health, highlighted
developments in this direction dur-
ing the past year.
Undoubtedly the most signifi-
cant step in this regard was the se-
lection, for the first time, of medi-
cal motion pictures from many
parts of the world for an Interna-
tional Medical Film Exhibition as
part of the Twelfth General As-
sembly of the World Medical
Association in Copenhagen. Den-
mark, August 15-20.
Co-sponsors of the international
film showing were the World Med-
ical Association, the American
Medical Association, and Johnson
& Johnson International. Ralph
Creer, director of medical motion
pictures and television of AMA.
arranged the exhibition, based on
his experience as organizing direc-
tor of the U.S. International Med-
ical Film Exhibitions in New York
and Atlantic City in 1957 and
195S.
Other International Events
Motion pictures figured impor-
tantly in at least three other inter-
national medical-scientilic meet-
ings held last year. A festival of
science films and sessions on
"Modern Techniques in Scientific
Cinematography" were features of
the Twelfth Congress of the Inter-
national Scientific Film Association
in Moscow. September 10-20. The
Third World Congress of Cardiol-
ogy in Belgium. September 14-21.
and the Third International Con-
gress on Allcrology in Paris. Oc-
tober 19-26 also devoted major
time to motion pictures featuring
newest techniques in those fields.
Adding further to worldwide
recognition of films as important
aids to the dissemination of medi-
cal-scientific knowledge were the
inclusion of several such films in
the 44-filni prt)gram which ihc
United States Atomic Energy
Commission sent to the Second
International Conference on the
Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy,
held September 1-1."^ in Geneva.
Switzerland.
Included in the U.S. lilm pro-
iiram at Geneva were medical
motion pictures on Colnili 60 Re-
loading. Iodine 131 . Rudiopluirma-
ceulicols. Liquid Scintillation
Counting, and Cyclotron Irradia-
tion of the Pituitary. Seven motion
pictures on the use of atoms in
medical research were in the U.S.
film program.
Record Showings in the Year
In the United States, distribution
of medical motion pictures reached
an all-time high in 1958. accord-
ing to the American Medical As-
sociation's figures. Film shipments
during the year totaled approxi-
mately 5.000 films, loaned to med-
ical societies, medical schools and
other scientific institutions. This
.represents an increase of 16%
over totals for the year 1957.
Comparative figures for 1948.
showing AMA film shipments to-
taling 1 .750. are sufficient evidence
of the giant strides that motion
pictures have taken in the medical
field during the past decade.
Nurses Sponsor Top Pictures
On still another front, the Amer-
ican Nurses" Association-National
League for Nursing film service
reported the production of three
motion pictures in 1958: Psychi-
atric Nur.\ini; — The Nurse-Patient
Relationship: Transporting the Pa-
tient for Surgery: and Draping the
Patient for Surgery. Premiered at
the American Nurses' Association
to audiences of 1,000 and 1.200
persons; the films have been stead-
ily booked three to four months in
advance since their release.
At the annual Clinical Congress
of the American College of Sur-
geons, held October 6-10 in Chi-
cago, a total of 105 motion pic-
tures were screened during the
five-day period, touching on almost
as many aspects of modern sur-
gery.
Surgeons Screen 97 Films
In the ASC Cine Clinics, a pro-
gram of 32 films was screened,
including a series of eight com-
prising a panel on surgery of the
large intestine. An additional panel
on liver, biliary tract and pancreas
included eight films, and 49 pro-
iluctions were shown in the area
of general surgical films. These
films were selected by the Ameri-

Picture Committee because of
their timely interest and high

HERE'S WHERE YOUR FILM WINS OR LOSES
Your film is as good as its audience reaction —
no better, no worse.
Most tiim production companies have good
writers. Many can shoot and process technically
adequate films. But few have the experience or
the organization required to analyze your prob-
lems with a full understanding of the aiicllcnces
you seek to sway; and what it takes to create the
desired impression on each group.
The IVilllcmi J. Ganz Company offers a complete
sponsored-film service that integrates planning,
production and distribution, to assure you of a
predetermined impact on the right audiences,
whoever and wherever they may be.
If you would like to see how we have worked
out successful film programs for others, write us
about your problem. Chances are we have a
directly related "case history" that would give you
some good ideas.

aware of the legal problems in
their work.
Typifying the mounting interest
of regional medical groups in using
films to spread the story of new
medical and health developments
among their membership and the
general public, were a regular
series of film programs held during
1958 by the Film Committee of
the Library Health Advisory Com-
mittee of the Council of Social
Agencies in Rochester and Monroe
County. New York.
Held 1 1 Film Programs
This organization scheduled 1 1
film programs last year, seven dur-
ing the summer months and four
in the fall, in the area of general
health, mental health, family rela-
tions, mental retardation, public
health, nutrition, dental health and
safety.
Included in the motion pictures
comprising these programs were
such productions as Mr. Finley's
FeeliiiQS, Person to Person Com-
munication, Anger at Work, As Ye
Sow, Volunteer Services, Boy With
a Knife, Family Circle, and One
Day at a Time.
59 Films at AMA Meeting
At last year's 107th annual
meeting of the American Medical
Association, held June 23-27 in
San Francisco, a 59-film motion
picture program was presented to
the 9,738 medical men attending.
This was the highest attendance at
an AMA convention motion pic-
ture program in the last nine years.
The AMA film program in-
cluded both private medical pro-
ductions and sponsored subjects,
and numbered as its most popular
film subjects were Saje and Con-
servative Treatment of Lesions of
the Female Breast, The Doctor
Defendant, Cholecystectomy and
Operative Cholangiography. Re-
spiratory Resuscitation Teclmiqiies.
Emergency Surgery of Acutely In-
jured, and Principles of Artificial
Respiration.
A special evening premiere
showing was arranged during the
AMA meeting for The Man Who
Didn't Walk, the latest release in
the Medicine and tlie Law series.
This film dramatizes the medico-
leyal situations which can result
from traumatic neurosis; medic;
examination, courtroom procedun
and expert testimony typify ele
ments of legal conflict.
A second major motion pictun
premiere during the AMA meetinj
was Helping Hands for Julie, th(
dramatic story of a seven-year-oli
girl aiflicted with meningitis. A
purpose of this film, sponsored bj
AMA, American Hospital Associ-
ation, and E. R. Squibb & Sons, is
to interest students in seeking more
information concerning careers in
medicine and health. ;
Recruitment a Major Task
That the problem of medical-
health recruitment is a critical one
was emphasized by Dr. Gunnar:
Gunderson, AM.A president, in
citing figures indicating need for
70,000 nurses, 8,000 occupational;
therapists, 3,500 medical social
workers, 5,000 more psychiatric
social workers, 6,000 physical,
therapists, 50,000 medical tech-!
nologists, 2.200 dietitians and 10,- j
()i)0 clinical psychologists. ;
The range of professional inter-
est in the medical recruitment,
problem is indicated by the facti
that, at the AMA premiere of,

BUSINESS SCREEN MAGAZINE
Julie, representatives were present
Ifrom the American Physical Ther-
'apy Assn., National League for
Nursing. American Association of
Medical Record Librarians, Na-
tional Conuiiittee for Careers in
Medical Technoloiiy. American
Dietetic Association, and National
Health Council.
In addition to the greatly in-
creased use of motion pictures in
the medical and health held for
purely professional showings, a
number of significant sponsored
film productions added their
weight to both public and profes-
sional understanding of some of
the current developments in this
general held.
Mcrrell Series Widely Used
I The three films in the William
S. Merrell Co. Medicine and the
Lflir series, produced by Medical
Dynamics, continued to register
wide acceptance among medical
men. In less than a year follow-
ing its release. The Medical Wit-
ness, first film in the series, had
been seen by more than 168,000
interested viewers in 645 show-
ings; and the second Merrell film,
The Doctor Defendant . was
booked for 127 showings in the
first three months of its screen
life. While data on the third pro-
duction. The Man Who Didn't
Walk, has not been made available,
a safe assumption is that it, too,
will add its part to the widening
of legal knowledge among medical
men. A fourth film in the series
will deal with hospital liability.
Another significant film of the
last year was Someone Is Watch-
ing, sponsored by the New York
State Department of Health, and
touching on a problem tangential
to the medical field. This film
called attention to the ways in
which legal narcotics fall into the
hands of dope addicts and peddlers
through carelessness and over-
confidence.
MPO Produced "The Return"
Another film with a recruitment
purpose was The Return, spon-
sored by the American Physical
Therapy Association through a
special grant by the Office of Vo-
cational Rehabilitation of the U.S.
Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
This production emphasizes the
vital role of the physical therapist
in rehabilitating paraplegics and
other seriously injured persons,
and fitting them for a return to a
useful role in society. It demon-
strates how the physical therapist
accomplishes this task in combina-
tion with the psychologist, occupa-

Citing the valuable contributions
that handicapped workers can
make in industrial jobs was Em-
ployees Only, sponsored by Hughes
Aircraft Co. for the President's
Committee for Employment of the
Handicapped. Hughes used its own
Culver City, Calif., plant as the
locale for the film, to prove that
handicapped workers, when put in
jobs that take their disabilities into
account, can prove as productive
— and in some cases, more pro-
ductive — than non-handicapped
employees.
An important film contribution
to public understanding of mental
health was The Key, sponsored by
the National Association for Men-
tal Health. The film portrays, in
actual scenes from mental hospi-
tals, how the latest psychiatric
treatments are bringing mentally
disturbed men, women and chil-
dren back to their homes and fam-
ilies. It points out that the tragedy
of letting people stay mentally ill
is that "it does not need to be,"
and solicits sympathy and under-
standing — against stigma and prej-
udice.
A Health A wureness Series of
nine cartoon films designed to en-
courage interest in both personal
and community health was re-
leased for public use during the
year by the U.S. Information
Agency. The films, 8 to 12 min-
utes in length, were non-technical
in nature, and were designed to
emphasize the relationship be-
tween cause and effect, rather than
procedures.
Individual films in the series
covered such subjects as The Hu-
man Body, What is Disease'.'. How
Disease Travels. Cleanliness Brings
Health. Infant Care. Tiiheniilosis.
Defense Against Invasion (ex-
plaining vaccination). Water —
Friend or Enemy, and Winged
Scourge (on the Anopheles mos-
quito, carrier of malaria).
Long a contributor to profes-
sional medical knowledge through
the film medium, E. R. Squibb &
Sons last year introduced Anonw-
lies of the Heart as a companion
to its earlier Normal Development
of the Heart, which won the 1957
award of the Clinical Congress of
the Amc'ican College of Surgeons
"in recognilion of outstanding edu-
cational value." Other Squibb-
sponsored medical films, all dealing
with the embryology of the car-
diovascular system, were Develo
ment of the Aortic Arch ai
Anomalies of the Aortic Arch.
These films serve as basic teac!
ing aids for medical students, ar!
as reviews for practicing physiciai

produced by Dynamic Films. Inc.
1^ Designed to meet a specific need in psy-
chiatric nursing ediiciition. this new film em-
phasizes the importance of a therapeutic nurse-
patient relationship in the care and treatmeni
of hospitalized mental patients.
The film traces a developing relationship
between a psychiatric nurse and one of the
many patients in her care. In following the
frustrations as well as the achievements of a
nurse in a typical state hospital situation, many
of the basic techniques in psychiatric nursing
are reviewed.
Is Useful at All Teaching Levels
Although the film is intended primarily for
showing to graduate nurses with some experi-
ence in psychiatric nursing, it should also serve
as a valuable teaching aid at all levels of the
nursing profession — from the experienced
psychiatric nurse to the first-year student in
nursing school.
The need for the film was originally
suggested by the American Nurses Association-
National League for Nursing, a joint profes-
sional association. SKF's Mental He;ilth Edu-
cation Llnit decided to sponsor liic lilm as ;i

part ol its service activities in the mental
health field. Selection of the producer and co-
ordination of production was handled by the
SKF Medical Film Center, under Director,
Peter Hickman, in cooperation with the ANA-
NLN Film Service, under Katherine Linden.
The nursing techniques shown in the film were
suggested by an advisory committee of three
psychiatrists and three psychiatric nurses.
Only Sponsor Mention Is in Title
No Smith Kline &. French products are
mentioned in the film, and SKF identification
is limited to the titles. As leaders in the re-
search and manufacture of psychopharmaco-
logic agents used primarily in mental hospitals.
An Academy Award Nominee
' ■ Psyc/iiatric Niirsiiii; has just been nom-
inated for an Award in the Documentary
Feature category by the Motion Picture
.Academy of Arts and Sciences.
SKF public relations activities lean heavily to- i
ward service in the mental health field, both
professional and lay. Psychiatric Nursing is i
but one example ot the company's services to !
mental hospitals ;md to the medical and allied '
professions, generally. |
To diite. Smith Kline & French has provided i
l(i() prints of the film for free loan to profes- '<
sional groups through its own film library and ',
through the ANA-NLN. .'\ll the prints are ]
heavily booked; within seven months of the
film's release, 1.208 showings were arranged .'
by SKF, in addition to those handled directly
by ANA-NLN. A nursing instructors' guide
has been prepared and is ;ivailable as an ad-
junct to the film. Several psychiatrists and
nurses have commented that the film should be
seen two or three times — especially by student
nurses — in order to absorb all that it has to
oiler.

Not a little ol the film's outstanding success
c;in be laid to the perceptive script of Ann

IVnw York Looks In the FuturG
Film Producer Association President Cites Program and Goals
by Nalliaii /mki'r
TT Was Twelve Years Ago that
A a small group of motion picture
producers joined together in New
York to improve standards of
production and promote industry
stability through better labor re-
lations.
Four years later, this association
was duly incorporated as a non-
profit organization, and since then
the Film Pr(xlucers Association of
New York has grown to its present
membership of 35 producer mem-
bers and 20 associate members,
the latter representing the service
companies in lilm production.
^100 Million Business
Today, through its member
companies, the FPA represents a
supply of motion picture products
and services with a yearly value in
excess of 100 millions of dollars
and employs 15,000 people in a
variety of administrative and crea-
tive skills.
The FPA is continuing with
those programs which rellect the
concerns of a vital communica-
tions and entertainment industry
to those it directly serves and the
American community.
Let us briefly consider some of
these programs:
Ethical standards in client rela-
tionship by uniform contracts and
responsible performance.
Labor stability by reappraisal of
rates, conditions, and competence.
Technical standards of density and
resolution both of picture and
track in black and white or color
for screen and television exhibi-
lion.
A joint labor-management con-
ference in actual operation (with
Ihe lATSE East Coast Council)
lo anticipate the demands of tech-
nological advances (particularly in
video tape ) by developing a pool
of new skills and establishing
standards of procedure.
Review of civic codes, licenses,
and permits in terms of present
day motion picture studio opera-
tion.
The dissemination and study of
new techniques for communication
in industry, government, and
education.
An analysis of present methods
of distribution and their improve-
nient for maximum audience im-
pact.
Improved public relations for
the entire industry and recognition
of its professional status.
With regard to the last men-
tioned, it is unfortunate that a sec-
tion of the motion picture industry
which has a greater audience every
week in the year than the total of
paid admissions in theatres, should
be tagged with a label that only
describes what it is not, that is,
/i('/;-theatrical.
It is unfortunate that many tech-
nical services and their represen-
tative bodies have overlooked the
professional inter-relationship of
the industry as a whole. In a
recent SMPTF conference sparked
by the Eastman Kodak Company
(who should know better) on a
program of films for business and
television, not one professional
producer of standing was invited
to participate.
Government Favors Amateurs
It is unfortunate, too, that many
government agencies in contract-
ing for motion picture projects will
ignore the competence, experience,
and stability of the producer oper-
ating with organized labor, for the
c|uestionable quality and creativity
of Ihe amateur producer. No con-
sideration in the new National
Defense Education Act grants, in-
volving audio-visual projects, is
being given to the producer whose
primary business is the production
of such material.
This repudiation of an industry
is analogous to a university's be-
ing commissioned to enter into the
production of missiles.
Responsible Critics Needed
It is unfortunate that critical
evaluation of the "non-theatrical"
motion picture is generally and
publicly undertaken by groups
who are not, by organization or
competence, equal to the task.
Achievement in film-making as an
art and a craft merits recognition
but let the judgment be con-
sidered and responsible. The se-
mantics of recorded visual images
and sounds deserves a critique by
professional peers.
Walter Kerr, drama critic of the
Herald Tribune, in a recent ar-
Nathan Zucker, president
f-'ilm Producers .Assn. of N.Y.
tide about the theatre had this
to say:
"This meeting (of the perform-
ance and the audience ) is what
the theatre is all about. It is its
greatest power; it is what most
distinguishes it from all other arts
and makes it the most personal of
them. A painting rests in its
frame, brazen and passive and
waiting to be taken. A piece of
sculpture thrusts itself into space,
perfectly commanding and per-
fectly detached. A novel lies pa-
tient and unprotesting until we are
ready to nod to it; it is an intimate,
but an intimate horn without eyes.
A poem is a kind of cradle, moved
by a hand that keeps gently out
of sight. Even music, closest to
the drama in the immediacy of its
restless presence, refuses our
handshake; we must turn slightly
away in order to know it well.
"The stage asks us to look at it
so that it may look back, and make
something, of the eye-to-eye.
nerve-to-nerve encounter."
Add to this dynamic concept ot
the theatre a visual and aural
sense freed from the conventions
of the proscenium and the con-
strictions of time and space and
you have the form of one of the
most exhilarating communicative
arts known as the motion picture.
The motion picture gains its ef-
fect, as Mr. Kerr points out about
the theatre, not from the presence
of "live" actors but by the exist-
ence of a "live" relationship be-
tween what is happening on the
screen and the audience. In the
jargon of the trade this is known
as "identification" but it is more
properly an emotional excitement
or experience that springs from
the union of audience and creative
production.
Recognition Must Be Earned
Yes, the "non-theatrical" mo-
tion picture production is both an
expanding industry and an art
form. This duality results in some
confusion and its growth presents
a variety of problems but its vital-
ity as a working art form must
have professional leadership.
Recognition, like confidence,
can not be demanded, it must be
earned. And where it has been
earned, its understanding must be
promoted.
The Film Producers Association
of New York is geographic only
by the necessities of convenience.
It invites responsible groups of
producers or service companies,
wherever their business lives are
located, to join with it to meet
the needs of today and anticipate
tomorrow. Q

color motion picture recently re-
leased by the R. C. Mahon Co.,
Detroit engineering and construe-'
tion organization.
Designed for showings to metal-
working executives as well as
architects, commercial builder and

film uses the eyes of a Great
Lakes ship captain to get across
the story of the Mahon organiza-
tion and its engineering, plant
operation and field-erection skills, j
As his ship plies up and down ■
the Detroit river, the captain, be-
cause of his love for steel ships,
is attracted to the giant fabricated
structural steel members changing
Detroit's waterfront image — par- ;
ticularly the new convention hall- ■
exhibits building, which masses [
over 19.000 tons of steel in one
area.
With the skipper's rising inter-
est, viewers are taken through a ;
series of scenes covering the lay-
ing of base plates for the conven-
tion hall, complete fabricating
operations at the Mahon plant,
and the progress of the structural :
steel erection work. :

both in pri\atc showings and
on television.
Hire Central Surveys, Inc.
However, to get an accurate
pictiue of audience reactions, a
professional lirm. Central Surveys,
Inc., was engaged to conduct a
limited study in three selected
areas: Des Moines and Waterloo,
Iowa, and La Crosse, Wisconsin.
A total of 447 interviews were
conducted, including 100 viewers
who had seen the film over tele-
vision in one of the three cities.
Of the 100 viewers, 61 had seen
the entire him, and 39 had seen
a major part of it; these latter in-
cluded persons who had tuned in
after the film had started, and a
few others who where interrupted
brielly during the showing period.
Reaction of viewers toward the
film itself was excellent. 91% had
a favorable attitude; only 1 % said
they didn't like it. The other 8%
were indilTerent; they didn't care
much one way or another.
Intrigued by News Publicity
Asked how they happened to
watch the film on tv, 19 said they
had watched it deliberately after
having seen newspaper reference
to it, and 4 others tuned it in after
having seen a spot announcement
one station had carried. The rest
of the viewers, so far as they could
recall, had not deliberately plan-
ned to watch the film, but had
done so after they had seen the
opening announcement and the
beginning of the him. They were
attracted by the film itself.
As to what they liked most
about the film, 27% said they
considered it educational or in-
formative; another 21% expressed
general approval, saying that the
film was different or interesting.
25% were impressed by the way
the funeral director helped the
family, and the difierent duties he
performed, or said they liked the
funeral director himself and

gained a better understanding of
the funeral business.
Some of the other favorable
comments about the film were in
reference to its professional qual-
ity, and that the presentation was
true to life.
Some of the objections to the
film were that it was too sad
(4%), and four other viewers
criticized the actions of the son
in the film, probably showing the
extent to which people identified
with the family in the liliii. and
not being actually critical of the
tilm itself. There were virtually
no objections to the film as being
too commercial or improper in
any way.
Importance of selecting an
easily-remembered title is indi-
cated by the fact of the 100 view-
ers questioned, none could recall
the film's exact title, and only
1 1 % gave partially correct an-
swers. Replies to this question
included "it was something about
"For the Living"," "To Aid the
Living." "For Those that Serve,"
or "it was about "Living"."
As to what part of the film they
remembered best, a total of 54%
referred to the son or his attitudes,
including his homecoming, his re-
action to his father's death, his
opposition to having "strangers"
attend the funeral, or his change
in attitude after discussion with
the funeral director.
The funeral director was men-
tioned by 39% of the viewers as
the part remembered best about
the film — more reference than
to any other character in the film
other than the son. Most of these
references were to the funeral
director's duties, and his helpful-
ness to the family.
Query on Main Purpose
A further test of reaction to the
tilm is found in the question,
"What did you think was the
main purpose of the film?" The
largest number, 34'^v, said the film
was educational, or was intended
to teach viewers "to be pre-
pared . . . when someone dies
suddenly."" Another 26% said the
purpose was to illustrate the duties
of a funeral director.
Twelve percent said the film was
to show the integrity or character
of funeral directors, or to guide
people in selecting a funeral direc-

tor with these qualities. Sonie-
uhat related answers were given
by \\''(. that the I'llni was to il-
lustrate the helpfulness or attitude
of funeral directors and how they
can be of service.
The absence of certain types of
responses mieht be pointed out.
Only 3^f indicated by their an-
swers that they thought the liltn
was for the purpose of advertising,
or, as one answered, to "boost"
funeral homes, liiis further sub-
stantiates that viewers did not sec
the tiini as commercial; even these
comments were not critical of the
film or its purpose.
Two questions relating directly
to Better Business Bureau spon-
soring of the tilm were included,
and answers to both indicated that
viewers were quite satisfied with
this film, and would appreciate
seeing others of a similar nature.
9S^c Approve Sponsorship
In all, 98', said that they think
it is a good idea for the Better
Business Bureau to sponsor pic-
tures of this kind. When asked
whether they think the BBB
should sponsi)r additional films
dealing with other subjects, 95%
said "yes." Subjects suggested in-
cluded buying a home, insurance,
atomic attacks, door-to-door sales-
men, the need for a will, and tire
prevention.
Summarizing results of the sur-
vey in an address at the 1958 an-
nual convention of the National
I'uneral Directors Association in
Cleveland, William H. Longman,
executive vice-president of Cen-
tral Surveys, mentioned four
points that the study had revealed:
Four Keys to TV Success
1 . The importance of doing
everything possible to get a large
audience. This means having the
right station, the right day and
time of day. and as much promo-
tion as possible through news-
papers, tv spots, etc.
2. The good acceptance of the
tilm and the favorable attitudes
toward it. with virtually no criti-
cism of it as being commercial or
improper in any way.
3. Success of the tilm in both
improving attitudes and increasing
the information level of viewers
regarding funeral directors and
their services.
4. That, although the audience
sampled was a small one, the film
is definitely reaching the kind of
people it was intended for — a
broad, middle-class American
audience, rather than any narrow
or specialized group. Q'

9TH ANNU.AL PRODUCTION REVIEW

Edison Ele(tri( Institute Film Helps to
RG-GGnmiilK Ihu DnG-Inriiislry Cummunity
THE Challenge Posed by
mushrooming communities,
overcrowded and congested down-
town areas, possible decline in
property values, and the grim fu-
ture faced under such conditions
by towns and cities throughout the
l!nited States is clearly and power-
fully stated in the new film Plan
far Prosperity sponsored by the
Area Development Motion Pic-
ture Committee of the Edison
Electric Institute.
Premiered at the Boston EEl
Convention before a group of en-
thusiastic delegates from all over
the country, Canada, Mexico and
South America, the theatrical-type
film, produced by Bay State Film
Productions of Springfield, Massa-
chusetts, capsules the challenge in
the experiences of one leading
character played by veteran screen
and television actor George Kluge.
Supporting him, a strong cast of
SAG players document what can
happen when a typical one-indus-
try town hits the skids — and what
can happen to a similar town
when good planning and civic
determination take hold of the
problem.
Because of the stake which
electric power companies have in
the continued prosperity of the
communities they serve, EEI Area
Development Committee members
sought the cooperation of the
American Society of Planning Of-
ficials and the American Institute
of Planners in developing the
script for the film and in selecting
locations where situations typically
illustrative of the problem and its
cure could be pointed out. Fol-
lowing the premiere, both organi-
zations gave official sanction to
the film from the point of view of
professional planners.
Like so many undertakings, the
production of the film required
considerable blood, sweat and
tears to get it off the ground. Ac-
tually, a two-year effort, under
the Chairmanship of V. S. Madi-
son of Detroit Edison, was needed
to enlist the needed cooperation
and financial backing on the part
of far-seeing member companies
of the Institute.

Horizons of Science" for Schools
New Science Study Films Offered
ANEW AND Uniqlie motion pic-
ture program for American
schools is just getting under way
with the appearance of the first is-
sue of Horizons of Science.
Conceived as a direct link be-
tween the ideas of science and the
men and women of science — and
the students in the schools, the
series is designed to stir imagina-
tion, to broaden understanding
and to stimulate thinking, both
among students who may go on
into careers in science and tech-
nology and, equally important,
those who will eo into other fields.
Sponsors to Provide Prints
Horizons of Science is being
made available free of cost to
schools through the public-service
support of participating sponsors
on a community and regional basis.
It is planned for intensive use in
the 7th to 1 0th grades, with con-
siderable added uses above and be-
low this level, in both auditorium
and classroom.
Each issue of Horizons of Sci-
ence will run approximately 20
minutes and present one, two or
more subjects of permanent inter-
e.st and significance in science.
Now in production for presenta-
tion in the coming months are such
subjects as these: A study of the
life and behavior of microscopic
one-celled animals ... A re -exami-
nation of Benjamin Franklin's elec-
trical experiments . . . Explora-
tion of the edge of space . . . The
Zebra and its stripes ... A camera
study of soap bubbles and light
waves . . . How a candle burns
. . . Oceanography.
Films Extensively Pre-Tested
Horizons of Science, produced
in association with Educational
Testing Service, and with an initial
grant from the National Science
Foundation, has been extensively
pre-tested in the schools of several
cities. It is being produced by an
experienced group of professional
film journalists headed by Alfred
Butterlield, former Associate Edi-
tor of Life. Editor in Chief of
Rathe News, Executive producer
ol CBS Television, and Board
Chairman of Information Produc-
tions, Inc.
The series is based on the pre-
mise that though virtually all
schools have suitable sound projec-
tion facilities, few schools have
adequate budgets for film itself.
Horizons of Science is designed to
for Business Sponsorship
be presented free of cost to schools
as a community service by business
and industrial organizations, foun-
dations and others who wish to
participate in the program as spon-
sors.
The sponsor will make available
to the schools in the community or
area concerned an adequate num-
ber of prints of each issue of the
series to meet school needs. Prints
are available to the sponsor on an
annual basis (ten issues a year) at
$210 per print. A "presentation
credit" to the sponsor will be
carried in the titles of each print,
without other advertising.
The films are to be a permanent
gift to the schools, remaining in
their custody for reference and re-
use through the years. R"

dustry in the LI.S. and in Canada.
Swift technological advances, including
high-speed lilni processing machines, new color
processes, videotape and its electronic produc-
tion phases, are just a few of the capital in-
vestment factors which face dynamic film in-
dustry managements. To keep the medium in
the forefront and at the same time, compcii-
ilve. both producers and film laboratories must
make continuing capital investments in both
plant and equipment within months, rather
than in future years.
Outmoded Standards Hinder Progress
An antiquated labor organization setup, cued
from past decades of entertainment industry
experience, currently hampers industry prog-
ress. While organized crafts include in their
memberships the most experienced and capable
technicians and artisans in the business, con-
siderable streamlining and the resolution of
common interests is now long overdue.
New York's approach to the subject, through
a joint labor-management conference, is one
important step forward. Chicago and mid-
western producers and film laboratories took
another such step in last year's precedent-
breaking organization for joint labor nego-
tiations.
Local 780 in that area tested this new organ-
ization with a sudden strike last month at Fred
Niles Productions, one of its members. Within
24 hours every other member studio and film
laboratory in Chicago closed doors in a unified
reaction. Within three days all issues were
settled to the satisfaction of both labor and
management representatives. A modest one-
year increase approximately halved the union's
original demands.
Labor-Management Have Common Goals
Not disputes or slowdowns, but the long-
needed "equity of interest" which should pro-
vide permanent employment and security for
skilled workers through the widest possible use
of the film medium (at the most economical
cost to the user) holds the real solution for
both labor and management in the business and
television film industry. Chicago is headed
for a similiar joint labor-management confer-
ence and so are other principal production
centers throughout the U.S. and Canada. 9

Taking Cues from Eventful Past, a Film Helps to Open
The Equitahle's Centennial Year
"For All Time" Combines Past and Present With Adroit Visuals
Sponsor: Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society of tiic United
States
Title; For All Time. 27 min.,
color and sepia, produced by
Roger Wade Productions. Inc.
it This is the Centennial year of
the Equitable Life Assurance So-
ciety and the company plans to
make it a big year in many ways
— new policies; expansion to a big
new building in Rockefeller Cen-
ter, New York; stepped-up adver-
tising; and an information program
to increase public awareness of
Equitabie's position in its field and
in American life.
Major Project of the Year
A major project ol the Centen-
nial year is the new film. For All
Time. While E.L.A.S. is the coun-
try's third largest insurance com-
pany, and its assets place it as the
1 I Ith largest corporation in the
U.S., bigness is not Equitabie's
boast, but service, and its tradition
of having pioneered so many of
the benefits that life insurance af-
fords today.
Items: Equitable was the first
company to issue an Inconiestable
policy; it was the first company to
set up training courses in better
service for all agents; during World
War 1 when all insurance compan-
ies had clauses against paying
claims for death in military service.
Equitable paid every claim in spite
of the clause. And it was the only
company to do so.
Flashback Shows First Year
.After opening scenes showing
Equitable as it is today, the film
flashes back to 18.59. the com-
pany's first year, when Henry Hyde
hung his sign up at 98 Broadway,
New York. His company was not
the first in the field — some ."^S in-
surance companies existed at the
lime, but their service was pretty
primitive. Only the very best risks
were insurable and the restrictions
were great. No working men could
get insurance. Policies didn't cover

travel. And like as not. even if the
policyholder died peaceably at
home, his heirs would have a hard
time collecting.
Henry Hyde led the way to
many insurance reforms in the com-
pany's first years. Travel restric-
tions were eliminated and policies
bought in good faith were paid
immediately in good faith.
A Medium is Rediscovered . . .
As narration of the company's
history is told, drawings, cartoons,
posters, old magazines and news-
papers gathered from many sources
are used as illustrations, with the
camera moving about illuminating
the feeling of the era. Sometimes
with zooms, pans or animation,
this, one of the oldest of cinema
techniques, has been rediscovered
and made so modern that it is ex-
ceedingly striking.

place human ingredients a motion
picture has been created that
amounts to a home-town moralit\
play with large-scale implications.
This film. The Two Wheel Bike.
constitutes part of a corporate cit-
izen program for industry and the
community which Mutual Benefit
Life Insurance Company is spon-
soring under the title of The True
.Security.
Program in Third Year
The program was inaugurated
three years ago with the develop-
ment and production by Strauss
for Mutual Benetit of a motion pic-
ture. The Time is Now which, to-
gether with a series of supervisory
training courses, was offered na-
tionally to business and industry as
a public service. Its theme, the
importance of developing individ-
ual initiative and inner resources
rather than relying on outside help.
is carried into a new dimension by
The Two Wheel Bike.
This time the audience is young
people and their parents, and the
program is co-sponsored with Mu-
tual Benetit by the United States
.lunior Chamber of Conmierce.
The story of The Two Wheel
Bike revolves around Tony, the
ten-year-old. who has entered a
magazine subscription contest, top
prize for which is a coveted two-
wheel bike. Hearing of this, his
grandfather is incensed. Why
should Tony have to work and
tight for a bike when he. the grand-
father, is not only willing but eager
to give him a fancier, more expen-
sive machine?
Poses Big Moral Problem
When Tony"s parents enter the
picture— torn between pride in
their son's self-sulticient attitude
and reluctance to hurt a loved and
respected old man — a major moral
problem is posed. How do we
best serve our children: by protect-
ing them from life's competitive
demands, or by exposing them so
they can develop spiritual tough-
ness and the immunity to easy
temptations?
True to its own philosophy. The
Two Wlieel Bike develops this di-
lemma in subtle shades designed
to provoke its audience to think,
rather than in clear-cut black and
white terms which present an ef-
fortless solution.
Grandfather Has Forgotten . . .
Grandfather, for all his obsti-
nacy and his attempts to emotion-
ally blackmail his family, is basi-
cally a kindly man who has
forgotten, in his pride and pro-
tectiveness. the very principles on
which he built his own life. Tony's
father and mother indulge in no
heavy moralizing — they act like
what they are. two bewildered peo-
ple trying to do the right thing for
their son.
The boy himself displays all the
normal reactions of a ten-year-old
caught in the painful gap between
childhood and maturity by a situ-
ation larger than himself. There
are no heroes or villains; simpl\
people struggling with themselves
and with each other to find an
ethical standard by which they can
live successfully and provide living
strength for their children.
In The Two Wheel Bike, acting
and direction, as well as character
and plot development, contribute
to delivering the moral message
with dramatic impact by translat-
ing it into valid human terms.
Essay Contest Is Tie-In
The nationwide program which
Mutual Benefit and the Jimior
Chamber of Commerce have based
on the film has as its central fea-
ture an essay contest for high-
school seniors. Divided into local,
state and national sub-sections, this
competition offers awards ranging
up to a $ 1 ,000 college scholarship,
trophies, and all-expense trips to
Washington.
Contestants view the film under
Jaycee auspices at schools or com-
munity centers. They then prepare
scripts on the need for personal
initiative and self-reliance in their
own present and future lives which
they deliver orally before judges at
various levels. Content, originality
and sincerity are the criteria in
determining winners.
The "True Security" contest
opened last October; an original ;
supply of 3,500 contest kits was i
exhausted by December I , and ad-
ditional reprints have been neces-
sary. The Jaycees estimate that by
the mid-April deadline nearly
1,200 of their chapters will have
participated in this first version of
what they hope to make an annual
project.
Local Initiative Adds Up
State and local Jaycee groups
have added initiative of their own
to the program. One state chair-
man has added a S750 scholarship
for the winner in his state. Al-
though brand-new, this activity al-
ready has vaulted into second place
among Jaycee projects in terms of
local chapter participation.
Tlie Two Wheel Bike, like its
predecessor. The Time is Now, re-
emphasizes the versatile role that
the "industrial" motion picture can
play, not only internally for train-
ing and motivation or externally
for public relatiorks and sales pro-
motion, but as a mature and valu-
able element of business and in-
dustry's growing activity in the
area of good corporate citizenship.

Jam Handy Vista-Dome Shov/ Takes Audience "Inside" Scene
ARi-AOi.iTioNAKi' Nt:w devel-
opment in realistic motion
picture projection hit the recent
51st annual Auto Show in Chi-
cago — and walked off with the
lion's share of spectators for Chev-
rolet.
Vista-Dome — a system in which
the picture on the screen "sur-
rounds" the viewer with ultra-
realistic effects — provided the key
show attraction.
Takes You for "Real" Ride
A motion picture in color and
sound enabled the exhibitor to
take I 10 prospects on a thrilling
demonstration ride every five min-
utes behind the wheel of a ]'^59
Chevrolet.
As viewed by the spectators
within a fibre-glass dome theater,
the hemispherical projection
method places the audience right
in the midst of the action on the
screen. The viewer "feels" the
tunnels, the dangerous curves at
top speed and the girders of the
bridges that whip by him. A quick
run over roller-coaster inclines
and turns ends when the car pulls
to a quick stop as another "driver"
turns into the viewer's lane.
Widest of Wide-Angle Lenses
The heart of this crowd-pleaser
is a new Jam Handy-developed
visual device employing the widest
of wide angle lenses. The screen
is curved, offering a horizon of
1 80 degrees and a vertical scope
of 90 degrees. Thus, the picture
completely fills the spectator's vi-
sion. Vista-Dome was originally
a development by The Jam Handy
Organization for a better device to
simulate actual combat conditions
for military uses.
More than a year of intensive
work by optics engineers and
mathematicians made the Jam
Handy dream come true. The new
Below: "You're in the picture!" The ultra-realism of the new Vista-Dome
system projects the viewer into tiie action scenes on curved .screen.
lens has been used to develop
skills in driving vehicles, piloting
jet planes, operating tanks, sight-
ing guns and operating overhead
cranes. With the Auto Show un-
veiling, the firm is now released
from all restrictions on the system
by the government.
Open for Commercial Use
According to company spokes-
men. Vista-Dome should receive
wide commercial use in the com-
ing year. Its terrific degree of
crowd-appeal plus the economical
use of 35 mm cameras, projectors
and films should make this predic-
tion become a reality. The capac-
ity crowds that packed initial
showings at both the Chicago and
Detroit auto shows gave solid evi-
dence of its popularity.

ACS Film on Pelvic Examination
for Professional Medical Audience
Sponsor: American Cancer Society.
Title: Routine Felvic Exumimuion and Cyto-
logic Method, 13 min.. color, produced by
Audio Productions. Inc.
ik In the American Cancer Society's monu-
mental series of tilms for public showing, two
have been of particular value in preventing
loss of life from undetected cancer — Breast
Self-Examinotion, and Time and Two Women,
the latter on the detection and early treatment
of uterine cancer.
With audiences in the millions seeing these
films, the American Cancer Society has been
much aware of the need to re -emphasize to
physicians how important early detection can
be with companion lilms for professional audi-
ences only.
Routine Pelvic Examination is the profes-
sional companion film to Time and Two
Women. If reafhrms many of the facts known
to the medical profession about cancer of the
uterus: that of the annual 15.000 deaths from
this cause, eight out of ten could have been
saved — in fact, ten out of ten if detection had
been early enough.
With modern methods, cancer, even in a
microscopic state, can be detected through such
procedures as the "Pap" smear. It is of the
greatest importance that pelvic examination
always should he part of a general physical
check-up.
While some doctors may not have stressed
the importance of this examination, more and
more women will now have been psychologi-
cally prepared for it. And. with proper tact
and reassuring techniques, it will become in-
creasingly routine.
The techniques suggested come from Dr.
S. B. Gusberg. of the statT of the College of
Physicians and Surgeons, New York, who par-
ticipated in the film. His methods are illus-
trated with the use of a most remarkable rub-
ber sculpture of the pelvic region, enabling

Title: The Veierinaricm, 30 niin.. color, pro-
duced by Audio Productions. Inc.
^ This film, the 13th annual picture presented
by Texaco for the information and entertain-
ment of farm audiences, documents the im-
portance of the veterinarian to the nation's SI 1
billion yearly live stock industry.
Half of all our food comes from annual
products, the film states, and the professional
animal practitioner is a vital key to the good
health and productivity of the industry.
This Background in Higher Education
Seventeen colleges award D.V.M. degrees.
The film visits two of the leading schools — the
University of Pennsylvania and Cornell Uni-
versity. Here, students undertake courses not
unlike those leading to M.D. degrees. Anes-
thesia, surgery, anatomy, live stock husbandry
and such specialties as small animal care are
but a few of the broad categories which make
up the two-year pre-med and four-year profes-
sional studies of the future doctor of veterinary
medicine. Many techniques of veterinary medi-
cine, first introduced in animal practice, are
now widely used in human applications.
The Veterinarian shows typical activities of
a D.V.M. on live stock farms. One brand new
technique demonstrated is the use of an air
rifle to fire injections af antibiotics or tranquil-
lizers into cattle right in the field without re-
straining the animal and practically painlessly.
— Leads to Service on Farm or Ranch
Scenes were made for the Texaco farm film
at several locations — on the Rio Grande, where
patrols are seen watching for possibly diseased
cattle straying northward; in Illinois on a typi-
cal hog farm where cleanliness and proper
vaccination procedures keep the pigs healthy;
and Cortlandt County. New York, where skilled
vets constantly watch over dairy herds to in-
sure pure milk output.
The Veterinarian is the main attraction at
family parties traditionally held for the com-
pany's farm customers and friends each winter
and early spring all over the country. U'

Complete Buyer's Guide
LISTING STANDARDS DEFINED
This is our 9th Annual Review of the
specializing film production resources in the
U.S.. Canada and overseas for the businessman,
agency executive or government officer who
needs to know "who's best?" for the creative
development of a motion picture, slidefilm or
related audio-visual media among these
invaluable tools for idea communication.
Physically, there arc 67 pages of indices
;(nil detailed pioilucec listings which are
unicjue in the field of media reference. It
is our exclusive privilege to bring solid
jacis about some 300 companies, including
260 firms in the United States and 21 in
Canada, who are able and willing to put
their reputations, studio facilities, staff
personnel and client references squarely on
the line so that you. the film buyer, may
have safe passage in any future project.
There are nearly that number of "names"
in a single large metropolitan phone book
under "Motion Picture Producers." Months
of research and correspondence, offering
lislini^ space wiili no suings attached hut
compliance with our minimum prerequisites
for detail and references, stand behind
these impartial and truly useful pages.
Only 25 companies in all of the U.S. and
Canada are given minimum "identification"
listings, either because data was not received
in time, or (in one sinf^le instance) one
producer was unable to give references.
Recognizing the large expenditures for
filmed television commercials, additional
listing space has been given companies for
client and agency background. Other firms
(wholly specializing in this field) are given
editorial recognition in a Special TV
Supplement beginning on page 161.
While only officers and department heads
are included in each detailed listing, it is
significant to note that 1.308 key people
are identified in the 281 U.S. and Canadian
companies alone. Additional personnel in
overseas and tv firms indicate the growing
volume of skilled employment now required to
create and produce the thousands of motion
pictures, slidefilms, visual presentations
and tv commercials turned out annually by
companies listed in these Review pages. We
conservatively estimate listed companies do
90% of the total volume in the field as they
deliver ilw liesi and mo\t resulijid films! Q

Single frame fmni a K()B-TV new?reel on Dii Pmit 930 Film shows Albuquerque fire department training drill.
'For good news-shots any time plus the best TV reproduction,
we use only Du Pont filnn
> I
states Bill Tucker, Photo-News Director and Chief
Photographer, KOB-TV, Albuquerque, New Mexico
■"Providing film coverage of news events as they
happen means that on a given clay we must be pre-
pared to shoot assignments ranging from a parade to
a midnight airplane crash," says Mr. Tucker. "In
spite of these varied conditions, our exclusive use of
DuPont Type 930A and 931 A Motion Picture Film
assures us of consistent, sharp results."
Mr. Tucker tells us that he s found in seven years
of TV filming that DuPont fdni stands up under rapid
development. In filming local news. KOB-TV has often
shown newsreels on the air only twenty minutes after
shooting. He adds: "Even more important is our need
for a restrictive gray scale and sharp, blue-black
images which reproduce better on TV'. In this respect,
DuPont gives us just what we want."
There's a DuPont film for your need! For more
information, write to Du Pont. 2432-A Nemours Build-
ing, V^'ilmington 98. Delaware. In Canada: DuPont

quietness and simplicity of the Pageant
working mechanism. Using our Pag-
eant Projector, we now get a true quality
check for sound films, before putting

darken rooms. Sound is balanced and
clear. And because every Pageant is
permanently lubricated, your projector
is always ready to go on with the show.

arms, and attached power belt and cord,
you"ll find the poriahle Pageant easy to
set up and use anywhere.

Oregon. Every film in our library is treated as a "featured
attraction" with a purpose, an audience-destination, of
its own. Every film receives special care and imaginative,
individualized promotion. Results? Audiences who re-

Second, reappraise some more.
Check those films you are in the

and consider revisions to take ad-

starting from scratch by taking up
the gauntlet and meeting the chal-

Communists Are Active
One last thought — the Com-
munist countries are making a
carefully-planned play for domin-
ation of the International Film
Festivals, many of which have
world attention focused on them;
others of which, while small and
localized, have impact in special
areas. USIA and CINE, the non-
governmental Committee of Inter-
national Non-Theatrical Events,
want to know of your films. They
need effective competitive entries
and can advise you which of your
films are .suitable for entry.
In the past, lack of information
on these festivals resulted in ran-

authorities at the festivals, too late
for careful appraisal. Representa-
tion of America at these market
places for propaganda, as well as

continents; but ideas, good or bad,
can travel as far ... as fast .

The greatest need of a free society
is to produce within its ranks men

For a while, that is. because th(
magazine aims only to be a fail
weather friend . . . casts off mosi
of its readers after the first ter
years.
Living has made an exeelleni
thing of not trying to be the mag-
azine for everybody. Its story is
that the first ten years of marriage
are the Times of Purchase: 1 — the
marriage; 2 — the expanding family:
and 3 — the move to a larger home.'
After that, the magazine says, the
major purchases have been made,
readers stop buying Living, and
copies are rotated back to the
start of the ten-year cycle with new
brides again.
Explains LIVING Format
Street &. Smith's film, T.O.P.
Secret explains the format of Liv-j
ING as a buying guide for the peo-
ple who need the most: Young
Homemakers. Lacking the distrac-,
tion of general articles of fiction-
Living aims every page at youngi
householders who are in a "must
buy" mood and who use the maga-
zine as a guide to purchases. As
an example of its potency Living
points out that 50% of readers
write in for advertisers' literature.
409r of circulation is newsstand,
a plus factor of no small size.
T.O.P. Secret is an advertising
presentation designed for use on
four levels: as a motion picture
(animated art) it will be used for
large audiences of space-buyers; as
a sound slidefilm (still art, with
the same sound track as the mov- 1
ie) it will reach smaller agency;
and account groups (via auto-cued
DuKane projectors); the art forms
the basis for individual salesmen's
flip-chart kits; and, finally, the ma-
terial is used in leaflet form for
mailing pieces and giveaways.
Script for the films was written by
Allan Chase. ,
Trailers for Special Use •
As a multi-use project the
T.O.P. Secret presentation goes
even further. Trailers designed for j
special pitches to several catego-
ries (such as furniture, liquor, sil-
verware, etc. ) have been prepared ,
for integration with the basic film, i

CHARACTERS right out of Alice
in Wonderland — with an as-
sist from Dr. Frank Baxter as "Dr.
Linguistics" — tell the story of lan-
guage in The Alphahel Conspiracy.
sixth and most recent in the Bell
System Science Series.
The hour-long film was pre-
miered nationally in a color tele-
cast January 26 over a 186-station
NBC-TV network, following pre-
release screening for educators
and the press and showings to Bell
System employees.
Following the pattern of such
earlier Science Series films as Our
Mr. Sun, Hemo the Magnificent.
The Sirange Case of the Cosmic
Rays, The Unchained Goddess .
and Gateways to the Mind, this
latest production employs live ac-
tion and animation in a fantas\
setting to tell a factual story of
language and its effects.
The "Tyranny of Language"
In the film story, three charac-
ters conspire to kill the alphabet
and free mankind from the "tyr-
anny of language." Conspirators
in the fantasy plot are Judy (Cher-
yl Callaway), a schoolgirl who"s
tired of grammar lessons; the Mad
Hatter (Hans Conried). who's
against language on general prin-
ciples; and the Jabberwock ( Do-
lores Starr), who speaks a lan-
guage all his own.
But fJr. Linguistics ( Dr. Frank
Baxter) thwarts the plot by con-
vincing the conspirators that lan-
guage is not only essential . . . it"s
wonderful. He explains many in-
teresting points about language and
its effects.
One is that language is spoken
rather than written, so that the
destruction of the alphabet would
have little significance. Man has
spoken for more than 70 times as
many centuries as he has written.
Another point is that babies
throughout the world make the
same speech sounds. It's only when
they arc brought into contact with
certain speech habits for a length
of time that they incorporate them
into their speech patterns.
Camera Pans Wide World
Language is a good indicator ol
culture, too. People whose cul-
ture we may consider primitive
may have a highly developed and
complex language.
In explaining the science of lin-
guistics. The Alphabet Conspiracy
demonstrates such things as:
— The drum language of Belgian
Congo natives, who "talk" to one
another across miles of jungle.
Their language is based on sylla-
bles of words which arc broadcast

— The whistle language of th^
Gomeros people of the Canar
islands, in which the consonant'
and vowels are represented entiref

The Machines for Speech

chine, invented about 1780, anc
the spectograph, with its moderr'
speech producing method is shown
— Two machines that talk to one
another — dataphone subsets, which
transmit business data over ordi-
nary telephone wires, demonstrate
llieir peculiar "language."
.Actually, the film points out,
the science of linguistics includes
five major parts: phonology, the
study of speech sounds; morphol-
ogy, the study of word forms;
grammar, the study of word rela-
tionships; semantics, the study of
word meaning; and etymology, the
study of words' origin and history.
Language Was Made for Talk
The more than 5.000 languages
in the world are based on pho-
nemes, the minimum individual
speech sounds. English, for ex-
ample, has 45 phonemes repre- i
senting 36 different speech sounds, {
although there are only 26 letters |
in our alphabet. This demon- |
strates that language is basically '<
oral, not written. I
The Alphabet Conspiracy was i
produced at Warner Brothers, with '
Robert Sinclair as director and '
Owen Crump as producer.

EXPLOSIONS IN Hospitals from
flammable anesthetics are
rare. Latest statistics show that in
more than 12 million anesthetics
administered annually, there were
only 55 accidents from fire or ex-
plosion — less than one in 150,000
cases.
Contrast this with our highway
traffic toll: 40,000 deaths per
year, with 80 million licensed au-
tomobile drivers, and you'll see
how ultra-safe modern hospital
operating room techniques arc by
comparison.
But while rare, hospital acci-
dents are always dramatic, and get
much attention. And, to profes-
sional hospital administrators, even
one such accident is one too many.
For Hospital Staff Use
Fire and Explosions jroin Flcim-
nuihlc Anesthetics (28 min.. col-
or) is designed to impress upon
surgical and hospital stafl's, espe-
cially nurses and major mainte-
nance personnel, the fact that
"constant vigilance is the price of
safety, and is essential if we are
to eliminate all hazards of tire anil
explosion. Only watchfulness anti
attention by a well-informed and
experienced stalT can assure the
safety of the lives entrusted id oiu
care."
Produced by Mervin W. La Rue,
Inc., the lilm is presented by the
Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department
of Interior; the Department of An-
esthesiology, School of Medicine.
University of Pittsburgh; and the
St. Francis General and Medical
Center Hospitals. Pittsburgh. Pro-
duction of the film was made pos-
sible through an educational grimt

Based on Thomas' Studies
For many years. Dr. Thomas of
the University of Pittsburgh School
of Medicine has been working with
experts of the U. S. Bureau ol
Mines, also in Pittsburgh, in stud-
ies of the causes of tire and explo-
sions in hospital operating rooms
and how to avoid them. As a re-
sult of these studies, Dr. Thomas
has demonstrated explosion haz-
ards to thousands of surgeons and
hospital stalls in lectures all over
the country. But the requests for
these lectures were so many, and
the time spent in fulfilling them so
great, that it was decided a motion
picture on the subject was the only
logical answer.
The film points out that three
things must be present before an
explosion can occur: oxygen, flam-
mable gases or vapor, and an igni-
tion source. This source may be

The problem in mastering oper
ating room safety is to eliminate
the ignition source, or keep i
away from the operating roon
area.
Special precautions are neces
sary in operations involving thi
upper body, especially the facia
area. The film shows the tests tha
must be made if electro-cauteriza
tion is required in the neck or fact
area after flammable anesthetic;
have been used, and explains thi
types of switches, illuminating in^
struments, etc. that are necessary
for safety. Chemical hazards fronT
ether and other gases are de-l,
scribed, along with the means ol;
avoiding them. ,
Static Electricity Cause I
Particular stress is given in the
film to the hazard from static or
frictional electricity — a hazard that'
gives little or no visible indication
of its presence, and which until,
recently was not properly evalu-i
ated. This hazard accounts for
some 80% of all fires and explo-
sions known to have occurred in
anesthesizing locations. It can't
be avoided, the film points out,
but it can be made harmless by
proper precautions.
The film illustrates (by the use
of sensitive voltmeters in some in-
stances, by controlled explosions
in others), the importance of
grounding equipment — and per-
sonnel — so static electricity is neu-
tralized, made harmless.
As a final reminder of the need
for constant vigilance, the film
shows what appears to be an ultra-
modern operating room — conduc-
tive floors, equipment grounded,
etc. — but with the oxygen breath-
ing bag and the anesthetist's chair
seat-cover non-conductive. The re-
sult: an explosion!
Fourteen medical, hospital and
safety organizations, including Na-
tional Safety Council, were con-
sulted in making the film. Operat-
ing room sequences were filmed by
La Rue in the studios of John
Colhurn Associates. Inc., Chicago,
with the assistance of Henry Ushi-

how they can be curbed. There
are also scenes showing how
P&G's Ivory soap is made.

TiTLi-: Measiiiin'^ Up. 20 min.
b w, produced by Wondsel.
Carlisle & Dunphy. Inc.
■fr This film, the Bell System says.
is presented by the "Society for
the Preservation of Sanity of Busi-
ness Office Managers." It describes
the operations of the System's
Business Office Service Index, an
efficient, if complicated, technique
designed to insure continuing good
service for subscribers in their re-
lations with the business office.
Each office in the system is reg-
ularly rated on five points: errors,
irregularities, delays, manner and
attentiveness. Through observa-
tions of service by monitoring, the
company can determine how effi-
ciently each office is operating.
And business office managers are
expected to "measure up" to the
required norms.
The film tells the office manager
how his index rating is determined,
explains that it is not just a num-
ber drawn out of a hat. It reduces
a very complicated accounting pro-
cedure to simplicity. 5S'

9TH ANNU.^L PRODUCTION REVIEW
Int'l Golf Matches
in New Color Film
SAFETY FIRST DIV RURAL HIGHWAYS
THE Club do Golf on the
outskirts of Mexico City is a
scene of breath-taking grandeur, a
rolling, beautifully manicured
course with towering mountains
serving as a fabulous backdrop.
Here, on the ancient slopes of
the Aztecs, one of the great sports
spectacles of the world, the sixth
annual Canada Cup and Interna-
tional Trophy Matches, took place
last fall before the cameras of
National Educational Films. Inc.,
the country's leading producer of
golf films.
In the fifth Canada Cup and
International Trophy matches a
year ago in Japan, Pete Nakamura
and Koichi Ono startled the sports
world by winning both champion-
ships. There were more surprises
this time.
Ireland's Harry Bradshaw and
Christy O'Connor took the lead
in the second round and led the
rest of the way to win the Canada
Cup with a total of 579, three
strokes ahead t)f .Spain.
But unshakable Angel Miguel,
a 29-year-old Spaniard, fired a
three under par 33 on the final
nine holes to tie Bradshaw for the
low individual lead at 286. Then
he knocked in an IS foot birdie
putt on the third extra hole to
capture the coveted International
Trophy.
It was a dramatic ending before
a record Mexican golf crowd of
14,000 spectators and, even in
defeat, a remarkable one for
Bradshaw. One year ago, in Japan,
he was in serious condition with a
three-day nosebleed. Then he was
administered the last rites of the
church, and his partner, O'Connor,
sat up with him night after night.
Their spectacular win at Mexico
City this year had the rest of the
golf world silting up days!
President Eisenhower summed
up the world's interest in the
matches when he said, in a special
message to the participants:
"Friendly competition in golf,
as in other sports, stimulates the
spirit of fair play that strengthens
the mutual understanding between
peoples. Only in this environment
can international good will grow
and flourish."
The International Trophy Tour-
nament and Canaila Cup Matches.
26 min., color, and eight other fine
golf films, are available from Na-
tional Educational Films, Inc., 165

says that merging slow vehicles
with high speed traffic, operating
tractors at excessive speeds, and
ignoring the rules of the road are
among the principal reasons for
the high accident rate for tractors

Black-and-white prints of the:

a routine visit. Carter finds that
Matson and his two sons appar-
ently need brushing-up in their
safety practices, and with Mrs.
Matson's help gets them to take a
review course in tractor operation.
The film stresses seven points of
safety adopted by the National
Safety Council for highway travel
by farm vehicles. These include:
good planning to avoid heavily
traveled roads; keeping the tractor
under control; using only experi-
enced operators; locating entrances
to fields and farmyards for safe
visibility; courtesy; using flags or
lights to alert other highway trav-
elers; following local tratiic laws.

|5^ "Advertisers may be missing
millions of dollars in sales because
they fail to show sales people how
[0 take advanlaee of their advcr-
iisinc." said Dean Coflm, Wilding
Picture Productions, Inc. in a re-
cent appearance before the Toledo
Ad Club.
Speaking on the subject "Busi-
ness Communications: How to
Parlay Your .•\dvcrlising. " Coffin
said the average consumer is sub-
jected to 1.600 advertising im-
pressions a day and that any ad-
vertiser successful in getting his
message across should be pre-
pared to make the most of it at
jthe point of sale.
Reach the Man Who Sells
He stated that to be complete.
'the advertising program should
"eo all the way down the line to
the fellow who is supposed to sell
the product after the advertising
has delivered prospects to his
door."
Coffin told the conclave. "It is
important to show dealers, dis-
tributors and other sales people
the kind of advertising that is
going to the public, and you want
them to believe it. to get excited
about it and see its scope."
j "To accomplish this, it is neces-
Isary to talk the salesman's
language." Coffin said. "The suc-
jcessful sales communications pro-
Igram that really prepares a field
sales organization to convert ad-
vertising dollars into sales, has to
, be written out of the lives of peo-
Iple, on life as it is lived out of a
i salesman's hat."

sand dollars a month as a result

Show New Wilding Techniques
A number of new motion pic-
ture and slidefilm technicpies de-
veloped by Wilding were demon-
strated as an additional part of
the Toledo program by Mr. A. J.
Bradford, director of Wilding's
Customer Services Ocpartment at
the company's headquarters in
Chicago. A motion picture using
the Communicam techniciue, and
slidcfilms utilizing Vista Strip and
Trigger Strip, terms originated by
Wilding, were shown.
Communicam is a battery of
three synchronized motion picture
cameras used to photograph un-
rehearsed situations, such as live
panel discussions. By photograph-
ing the action from three different
points of view, it is possible to
avoid lost scenes which cannot be
re-created.
Bradford described Vista Strip
as almost a new medium of visual
communications. This new method
provides for several new effects
including more realistic animation
with slidefilms.
Trigger Strip is described by
Bradford as "a continuously mov-
ing slidefilm technique in which
the speed of projection can be
varied and the film can be stopped
at any point." 9

Selectroslide Honored for
Performance at Brussels Fair
•tx Spindler & Sauppe, Los Angeles
slide projector manufacturer, has
received an award from the United
States Commissioner General of
the Brussels World Fair in recog-
nition of the performance of the
10 "Selectroslide" units which the
company supplied for use in the
U.S. exhibit at Brussels last year.
The award was presented by
Francis D. Miller, deputy coordi-
nator of the U.S. Building Exhibits
at Brussels, who stated that the
units were operated 1 3 hours a day
during the 189 days of the World
Fair without replacement.
The Selectroslide units were used
to project continuous pictures, in
full color, telling the story of the
United States, as part of this
country's exhibit at Brussels. Two
stand-by units also were provided
by Spindler & Sauppe for possible
replacement, but were not needed.

Recent Product Developments for Production and Projection
Sealed Beam Projector Lamps
Are Unveiled by Westinghouse
r A complete line of sealed beam
lamps for projectors has recently
been developed by Westinghouse
Electric Corp., Lamp Division.
Bloomfield. N.J. This new unit
has an intensified controlled beam
that results in the production of
the same lumens as is obtained
from a conventional lamp, but
using only one-fourth of the
wattage.
A built-in optical system is in-
cluded in the unit and thus elimi-
nates the need for a condenser
lens and rellector. Development
of this lamp should permit design
and production of more compact
projectors, say Westinghouse en-
gineers.
The new intensified controlled
beam lamp will be produced in
various sizes and wattages for
slide and movie projectors. The
lamp for typical home movie pro-
jectors is 2% in. in diameter and
2 in. deep. Glass aiming pads are
an integral part of the lamp and
will permit exact positioning in the
projector. Westinghouse is pres-
ently experimenting with varia-
tions of this lamp for use in dis-
play lighting, outdoor signs and
in other fields. ^

(QUALITY is our middle name.
The moment yovr job becomes
ours it receives the meticulous at-
tention of not only a Palmer staff
producer but indeed that of every
technician with whom it comes in
contact.
This "preferred handling" which
has become routine at 611 Howard
goes beyond film handling alone.
The reputation of delivering a
quality product is one of which
we're proud . . . one that ha.s been
earned through 22 years of serv-
ice to particular clients who have
found the laboratory and produc-
tion facilities of Palmer Films

ALTHOUGH Best Known to
American film makers for
their 16 mm. and 35 mm. "Arri-
tlex" motion picture cameras. Ar-
nold & Richter K.G. in Munich.
Germany, has become perhaps the
most completely integrated motion
picture operation in the world —
from manufacture of production
equipment to rental of sound
stages and operation of a film the-
ater.
On the theory that there is no
better way to test and improve the
cameras, spotlights, and film proc-
essing systems they manufacture.
Arnold & Richter have built and
equipped two large sound stages
(3600 and 5400 sq. ft. floor space)
and complete black-and-white and
color film processing laboratories
within their factory area in down-
town Munich. These activities
come naturally to August Arnold
and Dr. Robert Richter. who orig-
inally were early cameramen be-
fore devoting their time to develop-
ing the versatile cameras that now
bear their name.
Build 500-Seat Theater
The 5()0-seat theater adjoining
the factory ollices on Turkenstrasse
(to be completed in a few months)
was another natural extension of
these production activities. Al-
though every evening it will be an
ultra-modern house for current
features, during the daytime hours
the theater will be available for
music and sound recording, as well
as for industry previews and test
showings.
The new large sound stage com-
pleted recently, together with the
smaller one in use for the past two
years, are part of a complete stu-
dio reputed to be the most modern
in ;ill liurope ;it the present time.
In addition to cutting rooms, make-
up and wardrobe facilities, dub-
bing projection equipment, offices
for the renting producers, and a
restaurant, all the craftsmen and
workers of the Arri factory itself
are available when needed. In the
central sound control room are
magnetic recording channels for '4
inch and 1 7' '2mm. film at all re-
cording speeds. About 1 00 persons
are employed in these studio facil-
ities, and they may be rented by
the day or week by either German
or foreign producers.
The black-and-white film proces-
sing machines have been operating
almost continually for over 10
years. The Fox Wochenschau

including the U.S.
America Turns to 16mm
Of most interest to American
film niakers, however, are develop-
ments in the camera production
departments. After eight years the
factory is finally abreast of new
orders for the 16mm. camera, as
well as the older 35mm. model
which has had few modifications
since it introduced the famous Arri
"through the lens" relfex viewing
system in 1937.
Although overall production of
both size cameras is nearly the
same now, it is interesting that the
great part of 16mm. users are in
the United States, whereas almost
all foreign producers, including
documentary and television, con-
tinue to use the larger 35mm. film.
According to Reinhold Schutz,
Arri's export manager, the Amer-
ican preference for 16mm. is not
a matter of cheaper film stock
costs, but of the American pro-
pensity for travel and the conse-
quent demand for lightweight ma-
terial and equipment, now that the
quality standards of 16mm. equip-
ment have been established. In In-
dia and Pakistan, for example,
where there is one of the world's
largest domestic film industries,
there is virtually no 16mm. film
processing equipment except for
Lunateur Kodachrome. Greece's
new Alpha Studio laboratory built
by Arnold and Richter is designed
for both 16mm. and 35mm. film,
but the studio does not expect to
do any 16mm. processing for the
next several years.
Demand High for 35 Blimp
At present the Arri camera
product in greatest demand is the
lOOO-foot blimp for the 35mm.
Arrifiex. which enables owners of
ihesc caiiicias lo meet almost every
requirement of studio usage. Be-
cause of the large accrued demand
for such a blimp, and the amount
of handwork that goes into laying
in piece by piece the 10 sound-
deadening layers of goat skin, foam
rubber, and lead foil, production
is several months behind the orders
received.
The unique equipment that has
as yet been little publicized is the
"Arricord." a blimped unit in
which are mechanically interlocked
a 35mm. camera and a 17' 2mm.
magnetic film recorder. With no
need of synchronous electric cur-
rent for interlock, the Arricord may
be operated entirely on batteries,
and therefore is an ideal camera
for location and newsreel work
where the best double-system
sound quality must be maintained.

factories, including one near Ros-

New Taylor-Hobson Zoom Lens
Designed for Video Cameras
The Taylor-Hobson Studio \ai-
otal, a new zoom lens specially de-
signed for television studio use, has
been introduced by Taylor, Taylor
& Hobson, a division of Rank Pre-
cision Industries Ltd., London.
England. First use of the lens was
on the BBC telecast of Oueen
Elizabeth's Christmas Day speech.
The new lens is said to enable
cameramen to make gradual chang-
es between panoramic views and
magnified close-ups without mov-
ing the camera and without losing
any quality of definition. It was
designed specifically to meet the
problems of the tv studio camera.
.iiul is ,1 comp.inioii to the Outside
Broadcast Varotal model intro-
duced by the company about six
years ago.
The new Studio Varotal is suit-
able for use with both Image Or-
ihicon and Vidicon camera tubes,
interchangeable rear units being
provided to suit the two formats.
Focal length range of the lens is
2V.|." to 8" when titted on Image
Orthicon cameras, and 2.25 cms.
to 8 cms. on Vidicon cameras.
TJic lens will focus down to 5 feet.
^ Optical design of the Studio
\ arotal has been specially devel-
oped to yield the type of perform-
ance demanded by tv transmission
channels. Correction of all lens
aberrations matches the spectral
sensitivity of the tv camera tube
and aberrational compensation has
been provided for the errors intro-
duced by the face of the tube.
Mechanically, the lens has been
designed to fit existing camera tur-
rets with a mininumi of adaptation.
The three controls — focus, zoom
and iris — are in the form of gear
rings which are mounted towards
the rear of the lens, enabling the
fitting of either manual or servo
drives.

ucts are distributed in the United

Agencies and Business Films:
(continued from page eighty-five)
how to assist both producers and clients (slowly
diminishing through the hard road of video
commercial production involvement) and
aware of the complicated tasks involved, time
factors, etc., U.S. agencies have been loath
to pick up the tab-less and often thankless
assignment for longer films.
Producer Shows Agency Fundamentals
Sans experience to justify the necessary
15% agency commission for this supervisory
role, agencies have become increasingly aware
of the medium's vital status in client affairs.
Today, moreover, they are showing indications
of a new attitude and awakening. One of these
instances involves a mid-west agency whose
principals have been tutored by the head of a
film studio out of Chicago.
Result of the development has been the
opening of two important accounts in which
each side directly benefited. The producer
got an important picture contract from one of
the agency's clients; the agency won a new
industrial account for all phases of its business
through an alert, sympathetic and helpful con-
tribution to the account via the film medium.
Sponsors Seminar on A-V Techniques
Comes now the important Jordan. Sieber
and Corbett. Inc. agency, with a leading posi-
tion in the ethical medical advertising field.
Within recent weeks this agency hosted two-a-
day "Seminars on Audio-Visual Techniques
for Communication" in Chicago and New
York. Frankly declaring that audio-visual
media had reached a new plateau of impor-
tance to the advertising and sales departments
of industry concerns, JSC executives screened
a wide selection of the award-winning motion
pictures of such firms as MPO Productions.
Sturgis-Grant, Mervyn LaRue, Transfilm.
Robert Lawrence Productions and a panoply of
foreign spots and commercials via Arco Film
Productions.
Examples included new visual techniques.
color processes, content ideas, and other
original-creative approaches "of which the
advertiser must now be fully aware" as key
tools of communications.
Clearly needed is a restatement of agency
commission policies by leading producers
throughout the country, a frank assessment of
agency experience and serious help from the
iiuliiMiy Itself to all agencies who seek techni-
cal and creative counsel from producers. 58"

Business Juries \;ini{' Five Pictures
Irs First one-hour screen package, repre-
sentative of this country's $150 million
output ol business motion pictures, was an-
nounced by the Committee on International
Non-Theatrical Events (CINE) for showing
next month (April 21-24) at the Festival of
Films in Service of Industry to be held at
Harrogate, England.
Four regional screening groups met in Chi-
cago, Pittsburgh. New York City and Roches-
ter, New York to select the specified, limited
program from among entries submitted in In-
dustrial Relations, Advertising, Public Rela-
tions and Sales categories by leading American
sponsors and their producing studios. Entries
acceptable to the Harrogate program were then
submitted to a final screening subcommittee of
CINE in Wa.shington, DC.
67 Judges in Four Areas Participate
Altogether, 67 eminent judges, experts in
the above four business categories plus film
authorities, made the selections. This marked
the first time that American businessmen have
made this kind of selection of noteworthy films
to represent this country abroad. Picked from
more than 80 motion pictures reaching the
semi-finals were:
Speakini; of IVord.^i, sponsored by Pan-Amer-
ican World Airways and produced by Henry
Strauss & Co., New York.
The Hope Thai Jack Built, sponsored by the
National Association of Investment Companies
and produced by Robert Lawrence Produc-
tions, New York.
The Production of USS Steel Sheet. ■i, spon-
sored by the United States Steel Corporation
and produced by The Jam Handy Organiza-
tion. Detroit.
Silk, sponsored by the International Silk As-
sociation (U.S.A.). Inc. and produced by
Riviera Productions, Los Angeles.
One other motion picture, not officially
chosen for the one-hour screening time allo-
cated to the United States, was sent abroad as
an "extra" because of its special appeal as a
symbol of British-American friendship. This
was The Mayflower Story, saga of the journey
of the Mayflower replica which sailed the At-
lantic to Plymouth last year. The film is spon-
sored by Aero Mayflower Transit Co. and
produced by Paul Alley Productions.
Task of Business and Industry Group
Preliminary selection of tilms for the Har-
rogate Festival was handled by CINE's Busi-
ness and Industry Sub-Committee under the
chairmanship of John Flory, Advisor on Non-
Theatrical Films for the Eastman Kodak Com-
pany, assisted by Thomas W. Hope. Assistant
Advisor.
Chairman of the regional screening group
viewing Public Relations" film entries in New
York City was Eyre Branch. Standard Oil Com-
pany (N.J.). The Industrial Relations films
were screened by a Chicago committee, with

Graphic Arts Workshop Opens
Hollywood Tru-Line Facility
ti Film and slidefilm producers in
the Hollywood area can soon take
advantage of type and art acetate
overlays produced photo-mechan-
ically. This unique titling process
and animation aid, known as Tru-
Line. has previously been avail-
able in Chicago through the
Graphic Arts Workshop, Inc.
The Tru-Line process produces
overlays in a full range of both
transparent and opaque colors, as
well as black and white. And since
the image on the acetate is pro-
duced photo-mechanically, black
and white are already in existence
and will pick up. The Tru-Line
process has been used for film
titles, animation, slidefilms, and
television commercials by Chicago
producers for the past five years.
"The main advantage of Tru-
Line," says Dean Renly, who is
heading the new West Coast oper-
ations, "are photo-crisp image
quality, unrestricted selection of
type style and size and hand let-
tering, reproduction of clients"
logos and illustrations, complete
absence of ghost image when used
for scratch-off animation, speed of
service, and low cost."
To introduce the Tru-Line proc-
ess to producers in the Hollywood
area. Dean is offering complete
information and sample to any
producer who calls him at Holly-
wood 2-3374 and requests this in-
formation. Hollywood Tru-Line
facilities will open March 15 at

of Alexander Film when any of
several royalty or time-limit spe-
eilications occur.
Specially produced hrand-nanie
tilms which are available after edit-
ing for U. S. distribution will also
be made available to Alexander
for screening rights in this coun-
try.
In addition to its own tilms.
France-Ecrans will buy from other
European sources tilms acceptable
to Alexander, and re-sell them to
the tirm for distribution to America.
At their discretion, the French
producer may submit tilms for ap-
proval from (lermany. Spain. Italy

The new arrangement, Alexan-

vantage of the combined talents of
top European theatre-commercial
producers. R"
New Animation Stand, Optical
Printer at Eastern Effects, N. Y.
;V; Eastern ElTects, inc.. New York,
leading eastern animation and opti-
cal etl'ects tirm. has recently in-
stalled a new animated stand and
optical printer for the production
of ""aerial image" etlects.
The new equipment will enable
Eastern to deliver a wide variety
of motion picture effects in much
faster time and with better quality
than ever before possible.
Some of the advantages ""aerial
image"' will offer are a considerable
reduction in film handling and
fewer generations required for very
"tricky" effects. Resultant prints
are sharper and cleaner.
The new $90,000 "aerial image"
equipment, exclusive with Eastern
in the New York area, is strong
evidence that the firm's manage-
ment — Maurice, Max and Sam
Levy — believe that whatever video-
tape may have to offer, film will
remain a principal medium of
visual communication for many
years to come. H"

The Shortest Distance Between
2 Points Is a STRAIGHT LINE
There are many ways to bring new sale? ideas and prochicl information to the person
behind the counter. Some are round-about and ineffective, losing force and sales appeal
at each step. But one sure way is film . . . straight line-direct and economical ... a
film that delivers the full force of the idea— that enthusiastically explains the product.
This is the most effective tool a sales manager can have.
Caravel has been making straight line films for over a quarter century— fihtis created by
expert craftsmen to the needs of individual clients in dozens of industries. We invite
you to view one or more of these films — either in your office or ours— and find out for
yourself how they were made to deliver the full force of management planning to the
salesman and the customer.

Lewis to Haad New Industry
Program Division for Niles
:■ Fred Niles. president of the
Chicago-Hollywood lilni company
bearing his name has announced
the organization of an "Industry
Program Division" which will serve
industries "direct with customized,
specific-purpose communications
programs."
Niles said that he is using the
term "industry programs" rather
than "industrial films."
"The term 'industrial tilm" was
created in pre-TV times as an um-
brella covering all films produced
by a manufacturer, regardless of
the film's specific purpose and its
intended audience." Niles said.
"Tiiat term is no longer valid.
Modern business is complex. Stiff
competition, rapid technological
developments and re-evaluation of
internal policies call for specific
communications programs. The
one "industrial film" can"t serve all
the purposes a film is required to
accomplish. These individual pro-
grams, which we have been pro-
ducing, must be done with alacrity
and concentration on the approach
which best moves people to the
desired action."
Niles also announced the ap-
pointment of Herschell G. Lewis
as vice president in charge of the
Industry Program Division. Lewis
was president of Lewis & Martin
Films of Chicago, which he helped
organize in 1952. ^

BUSSE
In Four Outstanding Motion
Pictures to Help Salesmen
Get Back to Fundamentals
OPENING THE SALE
"If there is ony weakness worse
than the inability to close a sale,
it's the inability to begin." Here
are five tested techniques any
salesmen can use to ease his
way to the order,
PRESENTING YOUR SALES
CASE, CONVINCINGLY
The salesman's ability to sell
with conviction largely deter-
mines his ratio of orders to calls.
This film demonstrates the skills
which sales champions use to
convince skeptics.
OVERCOMING OBJECTIONS
A prize-winning film which shows
salesmen how to change objec-
tion stumbling blocks into sales
steppingstones. Six basic tech-
niques are demonstroted.
CLOSING THE SALE
Too often, when the time comes
to close sale — something goes
wrong. This ftim demonstrates
five fundamentals of closing to
help any salesman reduce his
percentage of "almost closed"
sales.
Videotape
These films hove worked for
thousands of companies in oil
lines of business. Any one of
tl^em can be the highlight of
your next soles meeting or dealer
meeting.

Ampex Unveils Videotape
Cruiser at NAB Convention
it The Ampex Videotape Cruiser,
a completely mobile, self-con-
tained TV programming and re-
cording unit, was demonstrated
last month at the National Asso-
ciation of Broadcasters' conven-
tion in Chicago.
The custom-built vehicle, a
product of the Ampex Corp. of
Redwood City, California, houses
the Ampex VR-1000 Videotape
recorder, complete audio and video
monitoring and master control
equipment, and two image orthi-
con cameras.
Ampex pointed out that the
Cruiser's camera mounted atop the
bus, can focus on scenery, news-
making events, or on anything of
interest which comes in range.
Within a matter of seconds, by the
use of Videotape, the material pro-
grammed by the camera is ready
for use by a station.
When not required for field use,
the Cruiser may be parked outside
a studio or a laboratory connected
to a line power source and used
for interior recording purposes.
The Cruiser had been on a three
month demonstration tour of tele-
vision stations and military and
educational institutions throughout
the United States. g'

RCA Introduces TV Tape

television tape recorder for color

the recent NAB convention in Chi-
cago.
The production model of the
RCA recorder provides "virtually
fool-proof cueing" to simplify the
handling of TV tape material
ranging from the ninety-minute
spectacular to a ten-second com-
mercial.
Color Conversion "Simple"
According to RCA, the broad-
caster can start black-and-white
tape programming with the basic
RCA recorder and include color
at any time by the simple addition
of a single "stand-up" cabinet of
equipment. No modification of the
original machine is necessary.
The recorder permits precise
adjustment of the recording and
playback heads, whether the ma-
chine is on the air or standing
idle. The result is two-fold — the
production of uniform or com-
patible tapes and marked improve-
ment in playback of tapes from
other recorders. 5R'

/\ SHORT- JiHDHT STDRY
WITH /\ HAPPY EIVDIIVG
ir On February 22 Bill Maxwell
and Harold Glaus of International
Harvester and Cap Palmer of Par-
thenon Picture.s holed up at Palm
Springs to lay out a picture.
Purpose, to announce a new line
of I-H trucks at 47 simultaneous
Dealer Meetings around the coun-
try.
The picture would run about 50
minutes. With 5 major segments —
sync dialogue on the Sales Execs
in Chicago; documentary on the
new trucks in action at Phoenix
Proving Ground; a "motion slide-
film" on the new Sales Features ;
ditto on the Promotion and Adver-
tising plans, incorporated in a
Salesman - Dealer comedy sketch
featuring Hollywood Names.
Now for the deadfall. Because
of the strike, I-H would have to
hold their meetings the week of
April 6. So backtiming for ship-
ping and printing, Parthenon must
dub by March 16th, 23 days . . .
and nothing even written at this
point.
Well, thanks to some able pros,
including Glaus' crack I-H crew
and our new Chicago-Unit men.
Maxwell was able to write us —
on March 31 — ". . . appreciate the
cooperation that made this remark-
able film possible in an incredibly
short time."
Parthenon does not solicit, to
put it mildly, rush-deadline pic-
tures, because an essential ingred-
ient of a good film is time. But
when one of our client family finds
his tail in a crack, the Parthenon
family of key pros will move down
to the studio and throw away their
sleeping schedules until the picture
gets dubbed and the prints in
transit.
